Something that surprised me was how Anne has very strong opinions about some people living in the “Secret Annexe” with her. She also has a lot to say when she writes. I was surprised because she seemed like a calm girl which she still is but, she has her own opinions that surprised me.

Some thoughts and feelings I have had while reading are empathy, anxiousness, and sadness. Why I have feelings of empathy while reading is because they have to go into hiding and be so cautious of what they do. I’ have had the thought of sadness because although they are safe and alive they have to hear news about the war and how people they know are being taken away. I’ve felt anxious because I don’t want Anne and her family to be heard or found.

“Kitty if only you knew how I sometimes boil under so many gibes and jeers.” I chose this quote because I feel that Anne and myself have lots of the same feelings about how to deal with people. Anne says after the quote that she doesn’t know how long she will be able to control herself before blowing up. I blow up a lot but I still have people that love me. It really resonates with me because most of the time I either have people who make me annoyed easily, or I get annoyed easily with them.

I am making the connection that at times Anne has hard times with there family but I have been having some quarrels with my mom the most lately. She describes how she makes her feel and how she feels at that time. Which I’ve felt the same but she says that her mother and herself have been getting along better which was my connection with her.

The signpost I noticed in this page is that Mrs. Van Daan always think she is above everyone and is in control with everyone that happens. She also has something to say when anyone does something she doesn’t agree with

# data[].attributes.body
Something that surprised me was when Anne writes how the Van Daan’s yell, scream, and abuse. That is surprising to me cause you would think that scene they have to be quite that they would be a lot more mindful with there choices of actions. Also I would have thought that they would be nicer and find other ways to solve the problems because there are children around and they are with another family.

Some thoughts I’m having is that I cannot imagine how hard it is to be in hiding for so long. Anne writes that when she hears about someone that she is not jealous of them but couldn’t help feel great longings to have lots of fun, and to laugh so much. I thought that I could never not be able to have fun or be around friends and other family because I just wouldn’t survive.

Something that confused me is why Anne’s mom treated her differently from Margot. The book says why her mom doesn’t always like her cause she think that she is petty but other than that it doesn’t give a good reason for her to treat her that way. Also how does her mom not hear or see how it hurts her daughter when she is rude and she tries so hard to make her “mumsie” as she calls her, happy.

I am noticing memory moment because Anne talks about this boy she liked a little bit ago. I think she was getting to the point where she realized that she did not want to go chasing after him when he did not like her anymore because it would make her look “boy-mad”. Then it stop the story because she begins to say how much she really does miss him and how she would run abc’ to home if she had the chance.

I am personally making a connection about when Anne talks about how she looked back at how she wrote about her mom and could not believe she was so rude. I connect with her on that because I know I have been really rude to my mom sometimes. When I remember or I get called out on it I feel bad and I want to apologize because I just get caught up in the moment and don’t always think before I do.

My thoughts about this page were a little bit all over the place. Because a little bit of pages back Anne says “ do not think I am in love with Peter.” Then on this page it talks about how much she wants to be loved by him. Which I get if you are stuck in some place for a long time you might want a good relationship with someone close. Quickly she just changes her mind a lot.

I’m confused with Anne on what she says here! Why did people make big bombs at the same time as making houses too! I don’t understand why people did that and sometimes still do it in a way these days. I don’t see how that could have benefited anyone unless they call cruel money and killing people a success!

Something that surprised me was how I suddenly realized how Anne writes shows how she has matured since being in the Annex! She is also confident and satisfied with her is what she says. It surprised me because she changed in a very good way. She also has hope and dreams for when she hopes to get out of the Annex.

Again and again is the sign post I am noticing!

The quote that resonated is “And the way Daddy has forgiven me makes me feel more than ever ashamed of myself. Why this quote resonates with me is because I’ve have had my bad moments with my dad too. I have regretted what I have said and done at the time and I still do. Despite all of that I really connected with it because my dad will be sad and disappointed with me, but he still loves me and forgives me like Anne’s dad did.

The signpost that I am noticing in the text is again and again. Because as she matures you can tell in her writing. Because the way she writes about what has been happening after D-day. How she knows what is going shows that she has matured in many ways. I also am noticing that she is very thankful and happy about what is going on in the page because of D-day.

My thoughts about this page were “oh wow she really came out and full on told you about lots of things about herself.” This page was heavy to read because she really told you what her family thought about her, how she has two sides of herself. Also how she wishes she could change one of the sides to her. It was a lot of information that was good and it showed me more about herself. I feel like she put it well into words and the she said it at the right time in the book to me.

This page talks about Hitler and how he almost died somehow. I’m just confused of how Hitler had such a huge impact in a very bad way on so many Jews. I know he was powerful but I just can’t really get my head around it of how he did so much to impact so many people. I know that people did try to stop him lots of times but I just would have liked if people formed one big group against him and took him down. History happens for a reason though so it is what it is 😢.

Something that surprised me was after all of and feelings going back-and-forth about either. She finally said that after all, she just wanted a friend. Which it surprised me because her feelings have been all over the place. I’m glad that she wrote about how she just wanted someone to talk to. Also how she needed someone she could share things to.
